A goofy, socially awkward bottom x a cunning, aloof top
1v1, both virgins, happy ending. No shipping wars, but there is a rivalry between the tops.

When Chu Yujin woke up, he'd transmigrated into a gay romance game. According to the System, he needed to win over the following four male leads:
1. Easy: His childhood friend (starting affection: 50)
2. Normal: A rising young celebrity (starting affection: 20)
3. Hard: A mysterious mercenary (starting affection: 0)
4. Very hard: A cold, expressionless CEO (starting affection: -5)
He could go home as soon as his progress with any one male lead reached 100%.
Looking at the handsome male leads before him, Chu Yujin decided he didn't really care whether he got home or not. What mattered was that he wanted to give the male leads a warm home.
Day one: He went on a date with the rising young celebrity at the restaurant below the office. Affection +5.
Day two: He went on a date with the mysterious mercenary at the restaurant below the office. Affection +5.
Day three: He went on a date with his childhood friend at the restaurant below the office. Affection +5.
Day four: He went on a date with the cold, expressionless CEO at the restaurant below the office. Affection -10???
Chu Yujin: Great. You've successfully caught my attention, you man.
Chu Yujin looked at the frigid -30 floating above Duan Zhisong's head and laughed in exasperation. He immediately told the System that he'd made up his mind: Duan Zhisong was the one he was going to pursue.

Duan Zhisong's father had put in a word for a young relative of a family friend to intern under him. Duan Zhisong hadn't thought much of it, figuring that as long as the kid didn't cause trouble, it would be fine.
And the kid really didn't cause trouble. He just liked to grin from ear to ear and greet everyone in the break room during work, then ask people out to dinner after work.
For three nights in a row, when Duan Zhisong finished working late, he saw him at the restaurant downstairs from the office, eating with a different man each night.
Until the fourth day.
Chu Yujin: "Mr. Duan, thank you for letting me intern at your company. Let me treat you to dinner tonight."
Duan Zhisong: "...No need."
Chu Yujin: "I have to. My father told me to make sure I thanked you properly."
That evening, Duan Zhisong sat in the same restaurant Chu Yujin had treated the others to over the last few days. He even sat in the same seat.
Chu Yujin: "..."
Affection -10.

Chu Yujin stood in the break room, smiling until his mouth went numb, and finally completed the [Say Hello (20/20)] task, successfully unlocking the gift system.
His achievement points were too low, so he could only afford the cheapest item in the shop: [A Must-Have for Office Workers: Deluxe Iced Americano (Affection +1)].
